The 1st Revision
If you are at the Revision stage of the Writing Process, then you have already taken the time to gather your ideas, organize those ideas into an outline, drafted a rough draft of the essay, and now you are ready for your first Revision—yes, the first revision. The Writing Process can—and should—be a reoccurring cycle. You may have to go through some of these stages numerous times before the structure, content, and support are correctly organized into a version worthy of publishing.
[NOTE: publishing is not necessarily sending to a ‘publisher’ to put into print. Publishing can be done by submitting the writing to your instructor for review and scoring, submitting the writing to your blog for the world to see, or simply printing out the writing to keep for yourself. Publishing simply means that it is complete, reviewed, and finalized.]
The first thing you want to do when revising is to look at your content at three levels: sentence-level, paragraph-level, and at the essay-level.
